Emily Quest glared coldly at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton before tugging at Torn Sullivan’s arm. She wanted to join Jeremy Quest and May Conner in greeting the other guests with a toast. However, Tom did not intend to leave. Silently, virtual-novel.net stood and looked in Xyla and Stanley’s direction with mixed feelings.
The couple with near-perfect looks were holding hands. Tom was pained by the sight of them standing together and attracting everyone’s attention around them.
After not seeing Xyla for a long time, Tom found that virtual-novel.net had become a lot prettier. Although Xyla barely had any make-up on, virtual-novel.net seemed a lot more strikingly beautiful than Emily. Whenever Tom thought about how the woman virtual-novel.net cared about might have hurt him, his eyes would turn cold. Now, virtual-novel.net clenched his fists tightly.
If Xyla threw tantrums, Tom might have been able to bear with her. However, if virtual-novel.net hurt virtual-novel.net at a deeper level, virtual-novel.net would not bear with it If Xyla really was the one who did those things to him, virtual-novel.net swore virtual-novel.net would never let virtual-novel.net off the hook.
While scanning through the crowd, Xyla’s gaze eventually landed upon Tom’s face. When their eyes met, Xyla felt physically uncomfortable after seeing his cold gaze. Although virtual-novel.net knew what the look on his face meant, virtual-novel.net did not care at all.
Xyla knew what the Sullivan family had been investigating recently. However, Xyla continued to hold Stanley’s hand without changing virtual-novel.net facial expression before walking over politely to Jeremy.
“Dad, we’re here,” virtual-novel.net said with a smile.
“Xyla, Stanley, there are all my business partners. Say hello to your uncles and aunties,” Jeremy said proudly as virtual-novel.net held Xyla and Stanley’s hands.
“This is my eldest daughter and virtual-novel.net husband. You’ve all met them before,” Jeremy looked at the people seated around the table.
Since Xyla and Stanley were the best-looking couples there, they attracted people’s attention wherever they went.
“Uncles and aunties, nice to meet you,” Xyla said.
“Nice to meet you,” Stanley said as virtual-novel.net nodded politely at the group of people.
“Xyla, your husband looks very accomplished,” one of the middle-aged women said without taking virtual-novel.net eyes off Stanley.
“Yeah, I was there when Emily got married. I saw how your husband checked someone’s pulse. He seemed very professional,” another middle-aged woman complimented.
When virtual-novel.net wedding was mentioned, Emily and Tom’s expressions immediately turned cold. Due to the various adverse events surrounding their wedding, it had become something the two of them wanted to avoid talking about.
Sensing that Emily and Tom were clearly upset, the woman awkwardly cleared virtual-novel.net throat before changing the topic.
“Mr. Quest, you really are lucky that both your daughters are married to successful men,” virtual-novel.net said with a laugh.
“Haha… Not at all,” Jeremy said humbly.
“Xyla, this dress looks really good on you. I love it,” May said after walking over to Xyla and circling virtual-novel.net hands around Xyla’s arm.
“Elder sister, Brother-in-law, you are here. Your outfits seem to be a great match,” Emily said warmly as virtual-novel.net looked at Xyla and Stanley.
Since Xyla was not used to this kind of attitude, which they rarely exhibited, virtual-novel.net felt goosebumps all over virtual-novel.net body. Although this seemed odd, it was all within Xyla’s expectations. After how virtual-novel.net father dealt with these two women, they naturally had to pretend to be obedient in front of him.
When Jeremy saw how Emil and May behaved, virtual-novel.net smiled satisfactorily. Meanwhile, Tom nodded politely at Xyla and Stanley without saying a word. He seemed very cold and distant.
“Yeah,” Xyla nodded at them politely.
Likewise, Stanley nodded at them politely without saying anything.
